You can get more creative than that! Of course only 7 characters does make it hard.

My car is Bowling Green Metallic and my wife and I called it "Shrek" because its green and powerful. After my heads/cam/header installation we now call it HULK. My license plate is GRN HULK, mainly because I'm a dork.

How about, "TORCH" assuming yours is Torch Red.
"RED HOT"
"RD ALRT"
"R BARON"
"REDWOLF"
If it was a Lambo, "REDBULL".

One of our club members has that plate in Missouri...

Missouri only allows six letters/numbers with a space or one dash between them, but not seven..

Good luck with your choice..

The 1st 4 are obvious and redundant. Corvette, Red, C5, Coupe.

5 is OK maybe just CROOZ without the "N" or perhaps R CROOZ or R CRUZR

There you go -- letting someone else name your personal car. Get creative. Lots of possibilities. Here in TX you only get 6 letters. Good luck

Honestly - None! But if I had to choose from your choices then it'd be #5!

Make sure you look at all the suggestions members give you!

Thanks,Matt

There is a list of vanity plates around here somewhere numbering well into the 1000's, for ideas.

asking the good people of this forum for input is not letting someone else name my personal car. I will decide what it will be.
